Walnut Cheesecake Squares

From the kitchen of One Bite...I have a weakness for cheesecakes. I love to eat them and I love to bake them. I find their tangy creaminess irresistible, and, save for brownies, I don't know a dessert that's easier to make. On the downside, they are calorie laden and commonsense dictates they not be eaten often. I've found it's possible to enjoy them a bit more frequently by exercising a simple form of portion control. Rather than make a cake, I make cheesecake bars or squares which, of course, contain fewer calories than a slice of the same cake would have. It works for me, though it took years to learn to stop eating with one piece. The cake I'm featuring today is a basic cheesecake flavored with vanilla and enhanced with a nut topping. These squares are very, very good. I know you'll like the ease with which they can be made and I suspect you'll find their taste most appealing. Here's the recipe.

Oh I am so with you, Mary! I adore cheesecake. LOVE this idea, especially because of the less calories per slice.... than again, I might just eat the whole thing and that would totally throw that logic out the window! lol

I too have a weekness for cheesacake. I would eat some almost every day... But as you said, there is too much calories involved. Anyway, with little portions we can please ourselves often... These cheesecakes bars looks really delicous and nuts are a great addition!

When I ask my husband what kind of dessert, he wants, his response is, "Something with nuts," yet I have never made a cheesecake with nuts. That must change now. You have given me the recipe. I can do the baking. Thanks Mary.

I love making cheese cake squares for the same reason. Smaller more manageable pieces! and I say manageable because I only have to work out for an hour instead of two to burn these babies off. mmmm cheesecake....

I made this today, thought I had the ingredients but only had half the cream cheese so halved the filling. Then I didnt have white flour so used wholemeal. It still tasted delicious and even the picky male eater liked it.
